Appium : How to launch app from Android For Work work profile

Question

I need to launch an app which is in different work profile (Android For Work). If install the app in personal profile then I am able to launch the app from the personal profile on the same device.

However, When I install the app only in the work profile then I am not able to launch the app through adb command.

As per my understanding, google keeps two different containers for personal and work profile. I think the work profile has different space and adb does not have any access to that app and workspace of work profile.

I need to launch the app through appium

If anyone has the answer to the above problem, please answer. Thanks in Advance !
